Cardiff’s Parkgate Hotel has been awarded four-star hotel status as part of the AA’s assessment scheme, while the hotel’s restaurant, The Sorting Room, has received two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence.
The hotel, which is operated by The Celtic Collection and first opened in October 2021, is a regeneration of two of the city centre’s historic buildings – the former head post office and the old county court.
Following a visit from an anonymous inspector, the hotel was reviewed by the AA against nine quality assessment areas, ranging from standards of service to cleanliness and quality of food.
According to the inspector’s report, the hotel was a pleasure to visit, praising its “intrinsic quality and spaciousness, and welcoming attitude from the team”.
The Parkgate Hotel has 170 guest bedrooms and suites, a signature restaurant and bar, an elegant tea lounge, and a luxurious rooftop spa with panoramic views of the city skyline.
Damien Martin, general manager of The Parkgate Hotel, said: “We are extremely proud to have been awarded four-star hotel status and two Rosettes by the AA. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to luxury hospitality, exceptional food, and unparalleled guest experiences.
“Our talented team consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that hotel residents and local diners alike enjoy a memorable visit, and this only reinforces our position as one of Cardiff’s most luxurious destinations.”
